I would have to agree with this. We have one high stress motor position on the robot (it was a core part that we couldn't really redesign mid season) that would kill about a V1 in about a month, but when we put a V2 on it it died in less than a match. That's right, at about 40 seconds left with a new motor it was already chewed up. I will admit, a large part of this was our design, but at the same time there should not be that large of a difference in reliability of the 2 motors.
